Metro Detroit February Gathering

[sparrowhawk]

Yes, with Jud's forbearance, I should be there: I'm really low on tins, and I'll need some experienced hands to help me chose. I'll bring my Kapp-Royal to show off with Jud's pipe.

They don't have a huge selection,IIRC,and are pricier than online. I might grab one or two, especially if they carry Rattray's. I want to revisit a couple, and there are two new Viriginias from them I want to try.

 

[jkrug]

I'm hoping they might have some Stonehaven in stock, they did a few weeks back. Might see what's in the Humidor while I'm there too.
Seeya in a few hours guys. ::

Not sure if I'll make it or not. I had some things come up.

We had a nice little group, even though gambit and kizzrose could not make it. Sparrowhawk and I were joined by jkrug; Gambit's pal John joined us,as her regularly does; and John brought Patty, a woman he works with who is starting to take up the pipe.

I bought a tin of Dunhill Standard, since I just opened my last one,and won't be able to do the big purchase of Standard I want to make for a while yet. Patty got our last goody bag; Sparrowhawk managed not to buy a pipe, but bought a ton of tobacco. I left before Jim did, so I don't know precisely what he got, but he said he had his cigars picked out.

A couple of people tried the Amphora Regular I had just opened; it was well-received. I had two bowls yesterday and enjoyed it thoroughly.

A great time.
